BASSETERRE, St Kitts -- The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) is mourning the sudden passing of Sir K Dwight Venner, the second and longest serving governor of the ECCB.

The late Sir K Dwight Venner

Sir Dwight’s passing comes less than eight weeks before the Monetary Council, in recognition of his immense contribution, had planned to honour him at a special ceremony at the ECCB Headquarters in St Kitts and Nevis. At that time, one of the buildings was to be named in his honour.

One of Sir Dwight’s many accomplishments was initiating and overseeing the construction and equipping of the current ECCB Headquarters.

The Caribbean has truly lost a giant of a man in the person of Sir K. Dwight Venner . He believed in his people of the region and served with distinction as Governor of the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank. I thank him for raising the ceiling on my possibilities. May he rest in peace.
